Concerts and festivals coming to Catalonia in 2023
Primavera Sound delivers another bumper lineup, Sónar celebrates 30th anniversary, and many legends will stop here on world tours
2023 promises to be another bumper year for music in Catalonia.
Last summer, people were able to enjoy music festivals in a pre-pandemic atmosphere as the Covid-19 picture improved greatly, and next year we will be able to look forward to another stellar lineup probably (hopefully…) without any worry of health restrictions coming into play.
Primavera Sound alone will bring some of the biggest names in many different genres such as pop, rap, and electronica to our shores, such as Rosalía, Blur, Kendrick Lamar, Fred again.., and many more, while Sónar is going big to celebrate its 30th-anniversary edition with headline acts such as Bicep, Amelie Lens, and Fever Ray.
Away from the festivals, iconic figures of rock and pop such as Bruce Springsteen, Michael Bublé, and Harry Styles will be filling out stadia here throughout the year, in what looks to be one of the biggest years for live music Catalonia has seen in a long time.
